this is prime example that Meta is still the same company, still want control over users personal data to use and sell, in iOS you can clearly see what types of data the app is collecting.

    SShock, 15 Jul 2023Has anyone asked WHY Threads isn't available in EU ? R... moreYup, very that! They literally sell your privacy and by installing app and creating profile everyone is signing T&C to allow them for this. If you never heard of Cambridge Analitica and wish to educate yourself just spend 5 min and I promise, you will be shocked what Facebook is allowing 3rd party companies to do!

      If you have it on and try to access insta using browser, it blocks you.

        SShock, 15 Jul 2023Has anyone asked WHY Threads isn't available in EU ? R... moreThey want access to your health data???? What do they need it for? All meta apps are data farms that sell anything they can to get ad revenue. I'm not saying they are the only company that does that, but they are the worst offenders

          SShock, 15 Jul 2023Has anyone asked WHY Threads isn't available in EU ? R... moreit's pretty clearly because they don't have GDPR things set up. all new app after all.

            Why do people use this nonsense in the first place is beyond me. You can't even write a full messa

              Has anyone asked WHY Threads isn't available in EU ? Remember, this is Meta, (Facebook). Their stance on privacy is so horrid EU would fine them in billions if they launched their app in current state to EU region. It's that bad.

                Cool, we i mean i at least don't care about threads anyways. It's just a copy of twitter nothing else.
